Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

This is a family-run hotel & we encountered some of the best service I’ve ever had. The girls at check-in could not have been sweeter and went above & beyond with various restaurant & activity recommendations to make sure we had a good stay.

BelgiumThe room was located right under the pool I think and it sometimes made noise. But it only lasted a few minutes so it did not bother us.
Nice modern room with big terrace. Incredibly friendly staff. Close to the beach. Calm street.

United KingdomNothing all amazing.
The property is in a great location, very close to everything, the longest walk we had to do was to the fort but it was through the gorgeous town centre! The property was clean and well finished and the roof top pool was lovely! There is everything you need in the room to stay wether you are eating out or wanting to save some money and cook yourself. The staff are exceptional, we came about 3 hours early for check in and we left our bags went for a wander and within 50mins our room was ready for us, when we got to the property they had taken our bags to our rooms! We then received a list of the best restaurants for different food, and the lovely check in girl took us up to the room and showed us how everything worked. When we left we got some lovely olive oil made by the family who own the hotel! Exceptional staff and exceptional stay, will definitely be staying here every time we visit Rethymno!

SwitzerlandOn top of the roof of the hotel there is a small pool that operates from 9AM and produces some small sounds. The owners are aware of this and it did not affect the quality of our holiday.
White Swan is a very elegant hotel with modern facilities. We enjoyed our stay, everything was clean and well prepared and the room was quite spacious and even included a microwave oven and a jacuzzi. The staff was more than helpful and welcoming and the communication constant and eager to reply to all our questions and provided us with good recommendations. The location of the hotel is excellent, since you can reach every major point inside Rethymno on foot in 5-10 mins. Parking was provided just in front of the hotel. We recommend this hotel

United KingdomOnly minor things. The water escaped the shower as there was no tray or door so the floor got wet. Could have done with a knife and a tea towel in the kitchen area. Insufficient storage space for clothes for 2 people in my opinion
The staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you. The bed and bedding were comfy and the location perfect for a short walk to the beach and old town. Nice roof top jacuzzi with loungers. Free parking nearby. Very clean. Quiet..great coffee shop across the square.
